Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Coconut flour
- 0.25 cup Erythritol sweetener
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 medium Apples
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 0.25 cup Water
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or use silicone muffin liners.
In a large bowl, mix together the almond flour, coconut flour, and erythritol.
Melt the butter in a small bowl and add it to the flour mixture along with the egg, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until well combined to form a dough.
Divide the dough into 12 equal portions. Press each portion into the bottom and up the sides of the muffin cups to form crusts.
Peel and core the apples, then chop them into small cubes.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the apple cubes, ground cinnamon, lemon juice, and water.
Cook the apple mixture for 5-7 minutes until the apples begin to soften, stirring occasionally.
Sprinkle the xanthan gum over the apple mixture and stir continuously for another 1-2 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat.
Spoon the apple filling evenly into each prepared crust in the muffin tin.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
Allow the mini pies to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your delicious low-carb treat!
